A friend grabbed most of the data. I plan on looking through to see just how obvious / easy it is to draw conclusions once I see it.


view as:

According to the article:

The leaked information includes the person’s full name, home address, date of birth, and date their permit was issued. The data also shows the type of permit issued, indicating if the permit holder is a member of law enforcement or a judge.

So that is "easy to draw conclusions".


Well, mapping between the databases. If DROS data is available, yet the individual doesn't have a CCW, what does the DROS info have? Given what I understand, if an individual has a CCW and the info exposed there, mapping to what firearms they own may be relatively straight forward. If they don't, then what info is available?

For transactions, the only PII is DOB, transaction time, and location. I think it'll be easier to correlate transactions with the Assault Weapon permit and FSC tables than with the CCW table (since there's a clear temporal relationship, and the firearm make/model carries over too)
